Whether you’re a world barista champion brewing a $150 rare
coffee from the hills of Panama, or you’re stirring a spoon of
instant coffee in boiling water, at the end of the day, It’s Just
Coffee!
It’s Just Coffee! is a podcast for all those coffee lovers out there
and we're endeavouring on a journey to find the perfect cup.
Not only will we be talking to the world’s best coffee makers
and roasters, we’re going to be talking to athletes, comedians,
celebrities and anyone that just loves a great cup of coffee.
The coffee community around the world is engaged and
passionate (sometimes to a fault), and we want to explore
some of the biggest debates that happen across the Internet,
and in the local cafe around the corner from you.
Questions like:
• Which country has the best coffee in the world?
• Should it be illegal to mix milk in black coffee?
• Is Starbucks actually coffee?
We’ll dive into some of the best coffee conversations on the
internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the
day, that It’s Just Coffee!

Should You Even Open a Café in 2026? | COLIN HARMON!
Colin Harmon is a four time Irish Barista Champion, founder of 3fe in Dublin, and author of ‘What I Know About Running Coffee Shops.’ Starting his coffee journey by serving coffee out of nightclub, he entered his very first barista competition… and he won. And he didn’t stop winning.
15 decorated years later, Colin has built cafés, a roastery, and a legendary coffee brand, and has just finished his 2nd book, “What I Know About Growing a Coffee Business.” releasing in a few weeks.
In this episode we talk about what it really takes to run a sustainable coffee business today - from opening your first shop to managing multiple venues, staying cohesive, and making the small improvements that actually move the needle. We also asked Colin the tough questions - Irish milk vs Australian milk? Also, what’s the deal with cocktail glassware in cafés? This episode is for anyone wanting to build their next location, or open their first coffee business with the right foot forward.
If you’re new here (welcome), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we’ll always remind ourselves at the end of the day It’s Just Coffee!
